BLAINE AND WALES.
They Are Striking up Quite
Friendship.

HAMBURG, Sept. 2.-Last evening
Blaine was the guest of the Prince of
Wales at a private dinner. Marquis
Mayer, the Florentine banker, and the
princes financial prop, was the third
member of the party. Blaine and the
prince met at the spring early in the
week. They both take the cup about
the same hour. The following morning
they met again and walked through the
forest. Tuesday night, during the
dancing reunion the prince. entered
with part of the royal retinue. Blaine
and Wannamaker were converSing with
several American ladies near the en-
trance. The ladies of the household
gathered round, and all of the Ameri-
cans save Blaine, retired. One of the
titled ladies sat down beside Mr.. Blaine
and Miss Cole, the blonde beauty and
attendant of the Princess Christine, and
interested the prince for ten minutes.
Mr.. Blaine kept up rafting conversa-
tfonal fire at his companion, she nod
ding her head in evident approval of
everything he uttered. Presently the
ladies withdrew, one by one, till Mr..
Blaine and the prince were left to them
selves. Mr.. Blaine arose and assisted
the prince to support the pillar. There
the distinguished individuals posed and
talked for half an hour. The stag din
ner of last evening was the conse-
quence. Blaine is in fine favor with
the prince, as well as with the English
aristocracy. He was one of the princi-
pal guests at the picnic given Monday
by Sampson, the East Indian Crpsus.
and has exchanged visits with Lady
Campbell.

Demand That the Postmaster at
Springfield, ILL.,. Be Dismissed


CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-After a lively
meeting behind closed doors, the Demo-
cratic State Central committee to-day,
by vote of Is to 10, adopted a resolu-
ton requesting the federal authorities
to investigate the alleged connection of
the we'll known Democratic editor and
postmaster, 81. W. Clendenen, of Spring.

ing combine" and if since the stat
senate report on the subject he
has upheld the ''combine," he
be Immediately dismissed from Office as
unfit for any position of honor, trust or
profit under the present national adj
ministration. The resolution likewise
severely denounces the alleged connec-
ton with the combine" of Gov. Oglesby
and other Republican state officers who
are supposed to be seeking a ren0mlna-.
ton. A substitute resolution, declaring
that appointments and removals of fed
eral officers should not be usurped or
inteYfered with by political commit
tee, was lost, Ia to 9. Before either
resolution was put to a vote letter of
protest against the action taken was
read from eX-Gov. John M. Palmer, also
a letter from Postmaster Clendenen, call
ing attention to the fact that the senate
Investigating committee had exonerated
him. Mr.. Clendenen denied the juris-
diction of the state central committee
over his case and invited compliments
against him to present their charges to
the postOffice department at Washing
ton, where they would be met and re-
futed. The reason for desiring Glen
denen's dismissal is stated by the pro-
motors of the resolution to be that only
in case he is deposed by President
Cleveland can the Democratic party in
Illinois effectively use the state print
ing steal against the Republican office
holders

MONTANA LEGISLATURE.
The Legislation Transacted Up to
Yesterday.

Special TO the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, Sept. 2.-To-day, the
fifth day of the extra session of the leg
islature, was signalized by the passage
through the council of the bill to create
the county of Cascade, of which Great
Falls is to be the county seat. 1t expe-
rienced little opposition, only three of
the twelve members voting against it,
and these more through ignorance of
the desires of cheir constituents regard
ing it than any positive antagOnism
The bill now goes to the lower house.
where it will probably meet greater OBJ
position, though likely to pass. 1t is
generally looked upon as the most impor-
tant piece of legislation of the session.
The legislature has scarcely touched
yet the measures they were called to-
gether to consider. Several new bills
are in, only a few relating to subjects
touched upon in Gov. Lesliels message.
The committees are at work preparing
bills on these subjects and they are soon
to come before the body. The amount
of new work, with the amendments
that must be made, insureS larger Ses-
sion than anticipated. The house passed
a resolution to adjourn on the 10th inst.
but the council voted it down. The
greater part of the month will be con-
sumed in the session. The following
new bills have been introduced
IN THE COUNCIL:
No. 6, by Burleigh, of Custer county-To
repeal the bounty laws The bounty paid in
the past six months has caused the territory
over S4S, 600. Hence the desire for its re-
peal. The governor recommends either it's
repeal or a provision to increase the revenue
to meet its demands.
No. z. To protect breeders of live stock
No. 8. TO amend the law for the suppress
sion of contagious diseases among sheep
No. 9. To create the Office of commissioner
of immigration.
IN THE HOUSE.
No. 9. To amend the mechanics lien law.
No. 10. To reapportion members of the
legislature.
No IL. To provide for the condemnation
of land for railroad purposes.
No. IL. To enable certain cities to incur
Indebtedness.
No 49, To amend the municipal corpora
ton law.
The following bills have passed the coun-
ell: No. l, to punish interference with rail
road tracks; No. q to apportion council
members among certain counties; No. 3, to
create Cascade county. The following have
passed the house: No. 5, regulating the of
flee of police magistrate in municipalities
No. 4, to regulate trial practice in district
courts; No. z, to define the qualifications of
voters in corporated cities, doing away with
female suffrage in municipalities.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Acting Secre-
tary Muldrew of the interior department
to-day directed the reopening of
a case that had been decided
against claimant by the COM
missioner of the general land office.
The appeal was presented by Truman
l.. Hodge, of Montana, who, latter having
made final proof that he had complied
with all the requirements of the law,
having resided on tract of land long
enough to demand it under the general
homestead law without Communication,
was charged by the land officers at
Helena 300 for communication. Secretary
Muldrew, in his letter to Commissioner
Sparks, says:
Your office decision of March II, 1886,
refuses repayment of the money paid for any
portion of the tract on the ground that, at
the date Hodge made his homestead entry
and when he commuted the same, the land
in question was within the granted limits of
the Northern Pacific Railroad company and
hence he paid the regular price. The fact
That the tract is within the granted limits of
the Northern Pacific railroad counsel for an
pllcant does not deny, but claims, and right
fully, that 1t has nothing to do with the ques-
ton at issue. 1t seems clear that some error
has been committed in connection with the
demand or acceptance-as the case may be
OF S4O0 from Hodge upon his presentation
of final proof. 1t is
DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE
that the entry man would insist upon paying
$500 for Il tract which he had already earned
by full compliance with the homestead law
1t is equally difficult to understand why
ofhcers OF the government should demand
payment of an entryman for tract upon
his presenting proof showing his night
thereto without payment. A better under
standing OF the matter is indispensable in
order to arrive at any decision with an as
surance that it will be just and proper one
You will, therefore, request the local officers
to report to your Office a complete statement
upon the psyme s of the 500 in question, question:
and upon receipt thereof you will promptly
transmit the same to the department for con-
sderation in connection with the other
papers in the case''

In Parliament.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The votes of money
for the Irish government are still under
debate in the house of commons. This
evening the Parnellites discussed the
administration of the law in Ireland I'M
til Mr.. Smith, the government leader,
appealed to the chairman to stop the
debate. The chairman replied that he
had no power to do so-he could only
appeal to the members themselves. This
was received with loud cheers by the
Parnellites. Mr.. Tuite tainted Mr.
Smith upon his inability to apply
cloture, and said he would have to bring
his 200 members to London.
After six and one-half hours of discus
sion the vote for the expense of crimi-
nal prosecution in Ireland was passed.
In the debate on the vote for the land
law expense, Mr.. Balfour denied that
the sub-commiSSioners had been appoint
ed on party OF religious grounds. This and
other votes were finally adopted. The
Parnellites intend to keep up the debate
until they have seen the result of the
Ennis meeting. 1t is rumored that the
Dublin meetings venue will be changed,
in which case the police will not inter
fere except to note incendiary speeches.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The eyes of fully
two score of the most prominent theat-
rical managers in the United States will
be turned toward Chicago next Monday
night. 1t is just two years since the Chi
cage Opera house was opened by Thomas
w. Keene, and duringthat period
he has been more than once at the point
of death. The fateS, however, have
been kind to him, and ON Monday night
he will make his first appearance i'm
Chicago since the fall of 'S5. During
the past month numerous stories have
been circulated concerning his physical
condition, some of them going so far as
to say that even now he is dying man.
His appearance on Monday night is eX-
pected to give the lie to these reports,
and as his manager, Mr.. Ariel Barney,
has signed for his appearance at nearly
fifty OF the principal theaters of the
country, the event will be one of more
than usual interest and Importance.
During the past three days let
tiers and telegrams have been

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. Especial tele
grams from various portions of Ne

ceedingly heavy rains throughout all
parts of the state. 1t has been
raining for several days. Little
actual damage has been reported
as yet, except from Columbus,
There the heaviest rain fell in the his
tory of the white settlement occurred.
Estimates place the rainfall at from ten
to twenty inches. The Loup and Platte
valleys are solid sheets of water from
Glencoe to Schuyler, covering the
finest natural hay country in the
state. Ten thousand tons of hay
have been spoiled. This will be
hard on the farmers and stockmen.
The wagon bridge across the Loup
washed out and eight or ten miles of the
Union Pacific track from Columbus to
Genoa is out of place Heavy damage
was done along the LOup, Shell creek,
Beaver and Cedar rivers, which with
that at Columbus, will reach 100000

to their full depth by astute vatican
diplomats in search of something indica-
ting their personal opinions, as well as
the views of the rulers they represent,
upon the question of the restoration of
temporal power to the head of the
church. Already the question of ceding
back to the church portion of the do
main it has lost has made surprisingly
deep impression upon the minds of some
OF the most patriotic of Italian states
men, but the vatican's reliance for the
success of its plans is not wholly, or even
in great part, placed upon
THE SLOW PROCESS
OF winning over Italian politicians
through home agitation. The question
OF restoring diplomatic relations be-
tween England and the holy see, re-
ylved at the time of Queen VictOria'S
jubilee, has apparently been allowed to
drop out of sight. but really it has not
for moment been lost sight of, nor
have the resources of the vatican for
keeping it within the bounds of consid
Grafton been, to any considerable extent,
drawn upon, so that the likelihood of
the abandonment of the idea is very re-
mote. This question will be, in various
ways, paraded before the English rep
resentatives during the pontifcal festiv-
tiles, and the representatives of the
French republic will also be treated to
similar exhibition in the form of in
SlduOuS pretentiOnS of advantageous re-
suits in prospective, growing out of
closer aud more cordial relations be-
tween France and the holy see. Aside
from the undoubted fact that the jubilee
will be made the most of by the pope
and his eminently able lieutenants to
pave the way to outside influence in ia
vor of re-establishing the kingly charac
ter of the pontiff that can later be
brought against Italy, the celebration
will be one of the grandest affairs that
Europe has ever witnessed, and its mag
Influences will doubtless impress many
persons who would be invulnerable to
argument or persuasion. Nobody knows
the value of regal, and at the same time
opportune display, better than the pope
does, and he may be depended upon to
dazzle his royal and semi-royal visitors
into the belief that royalty is belittling
its greatness by excluding Leo XIII.

Gus Beaulieu's Statement as to
His knowledge of 1t.
Gus Beaulieu does up Indian
Agent Sheehan in the following COM
munication which he handed to a
GLOBE reporter yesterday. 1t is in re-
lation to the alleged pine-ring, which
was one of the topics of Investigation by
Senators Dawes, Davis and Morgan at
the White Earth reservation two days
ago:
In relation to the letter which Special
Agent Heath wrote regarding my connection
with so-called pine-ring, wish to say that
/ first learned of its existence several months
after an order for my removal was issued by
Acting Commissioner Upham. / took the
agent to task about accusing me of belonging
to pine-rings. He said had written letters
to the Red Lake people advising them to en-
charge of their affairs, SO far as the pine of
Red Lake was concerned. desired to know
to whom had written those letters, and he
replied: Zone to William r. Spears and the
had written those letters and that had adj
vised not only those Indians to employ at
torneys to look after their interests, but had
also advised other Indians in this state to do
the same thing No reference was made in
any of my letters to the pine. At this con-
versation Sheehan informed me that the In
dians had become very much excited
on account of the letters referred to,
and that he had also driven white men
from the reservation who were exterminat-
ing the pines. / inquired of Spears who is
an Indian trader at Red Lake, and of others
residing on that reservation, whether Shee-
hams statements were true regarding the
feeling of the Indians, and whether anybody
had estimated the pine at Red Lake, and
they ali said it was not true. subsequently I
got copy of the letter herein alluded to and
presented day before yesterday to the com
mittee, and asked that Sheehan be compelled
to substantiate its contents. He said he knew
nothing about the matter, as he had not writ
ten the letter and did not know of its exist
ence until he discovered itfn his Office letter
book. I was informed by Charles Miller,
who was assistant agency clerk when the let
ter was written, that Sheehan had stated
what should be written in the letter and he
signed it after it had been copied in the
agency letter-book, and that the then chief
clerk who was not a friend of mine, exhib
tied the letter to Miller, saying, ''This is what
will do Gus up" will mention in this con-
nection that upon being cross-examined by
Senator Davis, Sheehan admitted that Harry
Heath, son of the special agent, was APP
pointed school teacher at Red Lake upon his
(Sheehan's) recommendation. stated to the
committee that / knew nothing about To So
